Time Is Right

Lyrics

(w/ Madlib)
 "Well I'm impressed most of all with the serene mood.
 A lack of comprehen..."
 {"I can dig it man, right on right on~! I know what'chu sayin baby.
 These folks that come here, have invested, a lot of credit
 in havin a - fine time, when the time is right - baby."}
 {*"WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT! WHAT TIME IS IT!"*)
 [Talib Kweli]
 Yeah, the time is right for me to find a mic
 The crowd is tight, the lab ac' ain't workin right
 But I'ma get it done, even if we gotta fight
 I ain't goin out like that, no not tonight
 Yo let me get a mic check
 This my prayer for y'all niggaz cause the game ain't got no life left
 Came in with Mos Def and Hi-Tek
 And that's my family dawg, they might catch the last gasp of my breath
 And rest in peace to my nigga Dilla
 My mind into real estate like a bigger villa
 Your rhymes are cheaper than gas in Jersey
 Before you leave the state you know you got to fill up
 Matter fact, put your schwag back, cause I got the realest
 If not the killer then I ain't smokin
 I'm not buyin off the street or be askin 'em what kind you growin
 You can't flush it is cause the kind is floatin
 Kids be eyein totin open defyin mothers that's cryin oceans
 It's Sin City without the Clive Owen
 I keep it fresh, these rappers staler than a big of chips you findin open
 Let's take our time and, have a silent moment
 It's like I'm jokin, I get 'em open like multiple lines are snorted
 They snortin I'm spittin flames; nigga the flow'll blowtorch ya
 I'm on fire so they always try to put me out
 Flatbush all day but they don't know what my hood about
 I'm so good without your props and accolades
 Crackin like whips on the back of slaves, spittin on the master's grave
 I'm tighter than 'yette's braids, y'all niggaz are "Tenderheaded"
 Just cause I ain't you as my friend yet, then forget it
 SHEESH~! Y'all niggaz are sensitive
 That's really me on that shit, not a representative
 Nuttin pretend or fake, many came and went, tryin to imitate
 That's the quickest way to disintegrate
 It's cause I innovate, my shit hardly assimilate
 Still I'm bringin "SexyBack" like Timbaland and Timberlake
 I don't stop, I never hesitate
 Plus it don't start 'til I arrive and so I'm never late
 The time is right get it straight
 The time is right get it straight... c'mon!
 I'm so slick it's slide when you ride with it
 Like the Y kitted, do or die with it like the Stuy in it
 Fly with it, +Do or Die+ with like the Chi in it
 Live the life of Riley like my nigga from Guy, shit... {*fades out*}
